K20 Crew cab maybe?
« on: January 21, 2012, 08:47:04 pm »
There were a few K-20 4x4s. But not many. Odds are it is a K-30.

Either way, for 500~600 clams, I'd say you're in my friend.

I thought all K-20's were 4x4 isn't that the diff between K and C

I guess I should've specified K-20 crew cab. There were a few, not many. Most crews were 30 series.

Most 20 series crews were 2WD and not 4x4 anyway.

Since the thread topic was about crews, I assumed we were all on the same page. Lol. Sorry for not being more clear.

Yeah, my fault, I wasn't aware of Crew Cab 20 series. Not sure what the point there would be

be sure and snap some pics to show us all if you go look at it...   This thread got me thinking...  my brothers 3+3 (my twin brother, local here..  lol i have two brothers with 3+3 4x4s) his is a 76 SRW 4X4 but with a Dana 44 under the front.  I'd have to agree with engineer that the K20s were rare, so I'm gonna check his VIN and see if it was a K30 that had the Dana 60 robbed out from under it sometime in the past....   i can't believe we haven't done that yet, just for curiosity's sake....

     So I saw an ad for a 74 4+4, opened it up and is a crew 4wd single axle truck.  Did they make these in 74 ?
    http://redding.craigslist.org/cto/2794822156.html   this is the listing if you are wondering.

First year for the Dana60 front equipped K-30 was 1977.

The crew started production in 1973 as a C-30. I don't know when the 3/4 crews went 4x4. Nor am I sure when the 3/4 crew came out. The 3/4 crews may have started in '73 like the C-30, but Chevy didn't start building the D60 K30 trucks until 1977.

77 was the first year for the K30, Regular cab or crew cab.


As for what year was the first available  4x4 crew cab I'd say 75-76 .I have a 76 and its a failrly rare truck its a Silverado/Camper Special  with A/C and Cruise 350/TH350/NP203 Dana 44 front and 14-bolt rear  Most of the other 76 crew cabs I've come across have been custom deluxe , with very few options

The 4x4 crew as I was told was made in response too Alaska Pipeline project .

1976 was the first year that the Bonus Cab (no rear seat) was made.
1977 was the first year for the K30 Crew and conventional cab

GM never produced a K20 series Crew Cab/Bonus Cab.

     I am kinda a fact person (blame it on my childhood why I have a hard time taking people at their word), where did you get this information from.  I thought the same thing about 77 and k-30 but never could get it confirmed.
     So buy your belief 75 was the first year they produced the k20 crew single rear axle ?

Um ,  I own a 76 K20 Crew Cab .

Um, no you don't.  GM never produced a K20 series Crew Cab/Bonus Cab.  What is your VIN number?  It would have to be CKL24xxxxxx, and like I stated, the first year for 1 ton 4x4's was 1977 and first year for 4x4 crews was the same year.  If indeed your VIN is what I stated, I would love to see it as it goes against everything I have researched. 

In my 27 years of working on and gathering information on, they didn't make it.  I have brochures backing this up, and if you need further proof, look at the 1976 brochure off of GM's site and look up Crew Cab, there is no K anything listed for 1976, and I am 100% confident that if you look at every other year you will not find a K20 Crew in them either.. 

This is their pdf brochure..  http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-heritage-archive/docs/Chevrolet-Trucks/1976-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf

I am also sure you can find the same on Slosh's page...
